The cruise control has stopped working

The cruise control has stopped working. I think it is the switch in the turn signal. How do I replace it and where can I get the part?

Have you done any testing? What about the cruise fuse, check the fuse and check for voltage. Any trouble codes for the cruise control. Some of the national brand autostores will check codes for free. To check codes yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader. Hate to see you replace something then find out that didn't fix it.
